Is it a good idea to dose nitrates in a discus tank? Normally I'd be dosing EI, but I'm a bit worried about my fishies.

Thanks for replying, I will do what you say. will it not cause algae? How often should I do a water change then at the moment? I'm also dosing easy carbo, which I'm hoping will help with algae. As yet there is no sign of algae at all, but the tank's only been running two days.
